Venture Capital

Three years ago, I left the cushy big company worlds of Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo! to embark on my startup journey. I accepted an entrepreneur-in-residence position at a prestigious venture capital firm, which felt like a great, safe way to build a company from scratch. They provided seed funding, which I happily took. Little did I know that I apparently had made my first major startup mistake – getting involved with a VC too early.
